Band Quotes

Jack White : "There are songs on our albums that I really like that don't go over well live. They're slow...people don't respond to them. It's a shame that I can't play "A Boy's Best Friend" or "Sister, Do You Know My Name?" often because they stop the show in a bad way or something. I try to sneak them in once in awhile."

Lyrics

I just don't fit in this place
their thoughts cast me out of here
their home has run out of space
my mind's already out of here
won't you come along dear
won't you come along?

words that are spoke alone
phrases you will never hear
empty rooms and a telephone
that I will never use never fear
I am all alone dear
I am all alone

my dogs come sit next to me
a pack of dogs and cigarettes
my only friends speak no words to me
but they look at me and they don't forget
that a boy's best friend 
is his mother or whatever has become his pet
